Family members are still puzzled over the mysterious disappearance of Tiffany Foster, who was last seen right before running family errands.
The 35-year-old mom of three had a lot to look forward to before vanishing. She was newly engaged and was just about to graduate from Georgia Military College, where she had been studying criminal justice.
One of the most worried is her sister, Kimberly Bryan, who said that Foster was just about to have it all. "Everything was aligning for her. She was getting everything she wanted," she told People magazine . That's why Bryan, along with other family members, suspect something happened. They don't think she'd leave on her own.
Her family became concerned when she failed to show up to class and work. She also had plans to visit a friend in another state, but she failed to make her flight or contact the friend to cancel plans. Her sister explained that something seemed up with Foster before her disappearance, but she never expected her to leave everything behind.
"I feel like I should have probed more and dug more to kind of see what was going on with her," Kimberly Bryan said. Days after Foster went missing, her car was found in College Park, Georgia. Inside the car were a lot of her personal items, including her phone and credit card.
Her fiancé, Reginald Robertson, has been arrested since. But strangely enough, it wasn't directly related to her disappearance. He was charged with theft after moving her car once it was officially reported as missing. He also had a 2020 charge for aggravated assault and kidnapping. But that event happened before Foster went missing.
While Robertson hasn't been implicated directly, Foster's sister strongly believes he has an idea of where she is. Prior to these arrests, he was seen pleading for Foster's safe return. He claims that he last saw her leaving the house on the day before she was officially listed as missing.
Robertson was taken into custody roughly two months after Foster's disappearance. At home hoping for their mom's safety are her two sons, ages 17 and 11, and a 15-year-old daughter. Her daughter was reportedly one of the first people to suspect something was wrong and reported her mom missing, along with her grandmother.
"It's heartbreaking to have to look my nieces and nephews in the face and I don't know what to tell them," sister Kimberly Bryan told CBS 46. Currently, Robertson is still in prison for his other crimes. It's unclear if he'll be questioned further about Foster, but her sister is hoping to someday get answers.
After viewing the footage of Robertson's pleas for Foster to return home, some people feel as if his body language is quite telling. "He looked more uncomfortable than concerned about her whereabout," one YouTuber pinpointed. "I hope he isn't the reason for her disappearance, but his body language says otherwise."
While hoping for her safe return — and hoping to get the full story — Bryan admits that the best thing to do is to be patient. "I think in God's time everything is going to come to the surface, and what we've been asking for and wanting we're going to get," she told People magazine. "We're going to get answers to where she is. We just have to be patient."
Bryan's main goal, aside from locating Foster, is to make sure people know that this was completely out of character for her sister. "I just want people to know she just didn't walk off. Something had to have happened because that's not her character to just abandon her family, her kids, and her responsibilities," she said.
If you believe you've seen Tiffany Foster or have any possible leads that may help bring her home, please contact Investigator Casey Mullis with the Coweta County Sheriff's Office at 770-253-1502 or [email protected]. Hopefully, this case has a happy ending. It's devastating to know that it's been six months since her children have seen her.
